Spear chucker is a classic but has always been seen as very offensive.

I would say that the racist people are the ones who are shouting "BUT YOU CAN'T CALL HER THAT BECAUSE SHE'S BLACK!", not Jim Rosenthal.
It's ridiculous.

I know how it was said but it did make me laugh when I heard it.

he was referring to her sport in a whimsical way - they do know each other quite well - and not directly about her. It probably never even occured
to him until afterwards what had been said and the way it could have been taken, hence the swift apology.
It's not like Brundle a few months ago and his 'pikey' comment, which was obviously directed at a group

Who decides that words are suddenly wrong? It's language for fuck's sake. Gypsies have always been called Pikeys in some areas. The same as Pakis have always been called Pakis, especially within their own communities.
Words are not insulting and rarely derogatory, it's the context in which someone uses them that gives them vehemence.

with old folk. They don't know the PC 'rules' and just go about their business every day.
My father still has a rather embarrassing trait of referring to his long, long time West Indian mate as "that black bastard". ( in his company I hasten to add ) and neither of them seem to have an issue with it or understand that anyone else might. ( the gentleman in question is just as incredibly un-pc in his conversation too )

according to the daily fail
"One viewer wrote on an internet forum: 'The term is highly racist to black people. The only more offensive thing he could have said was what we shall leave as ‘the N word’.'"
what about things like, fucking darky, one o' them coloured folk or some such? calling a olympic medallist javelin thrower a spear chucker is hardly the end of the fucking world.... but then i sup[pose i'm not black and therefore don't quite know how offensive it could be. oh well. i'll reserve comment. i'm gonna phone ofcom anyway.

I'm sure the aforementioned black people (or indeed javeliners) can be offended without your help if they so wish. Fuck off.

i was reading Charlie Brooker in G2 last week and he suggested that ofcom should have a balance system. if one person complains, but another person complains about the complaint, then both are equalled out and counted to zero. i for one think that's a fucking brilliant idea.
